Pieropan “La Rocca” Soave Classico 2021 is widely regarded as one of the great white wines of Italy. Produced from hillside vineyards in the historic Soave Classico zone of Veneto, it shows the extraordinary potential of the native Garganega grape when grown in the region’s finest sites.
First created in 1978, La Rocca helped redefine Soave as a serious, age-worthy wine. The 2021 vintage has been superbly received by critics, with scores of 95 points from Wine Advocate, Wine Enthusiast and James Suckling, confirming its place among the finest Italian whites of recent years.
Sourced from the La Rocca vineyard on the slopes of Monte Rocchetta, just behind Soave’s medieval castle, the wine benefits from a unique microclimate and limestone-rich soils that give it remarkable depth and personality.
Fermented and aged in oak tonneaux and large barrels, then rested on fine lees for over a year, this is Soave at its most refined and complex — rich, textured and beautifully balanced.
For members seeking serious white wine at a sensible price, this is one of Italy’s most compelling classics.
Read on for details and to order.
Why This Wine Matters
Pieropan is widely regarded as the historic reference point for quality Soave, with a family winemaking tradition dating back to the 19th century. Their La Rocca vineyard produces one of the region’s most distinctive wines — a single-vineyard Garganega that combines richness, minerality and exceptional ageing potential.
The 2021 vintage shows why the wine is so revered. Critics describe a layered, harmonious white with flavours of golden apple, apricot, honey, roasted hazelnut and subtle spice, carried by mineral freshness and remarkable length.
